Vanity Fair has broken a fair number of news stories

[cyclonefence]

but this latest issue, the first without Graydon Carter as editor, just plain sucks. It's all royal wedding, front to back. I am so disappointed. And I renewed only a few months ago. Now I'm stuck with this thing--I hope this is a temporary glitch.

1. I had the same reaction. I miss Graydon!

2. My neighbor gives me her old copies.

I gleaned what I could from this issue in a very short time and passed it on.

3. What a shame. Have subscribed for many years

If it doesn't bounce back, I'll be down to the New Yorker and Atlantic.

5. The New York Review of Books

is a wonderful publication, with a terrific progressive bent. I think you'd like it if you're a fan of The New Yorker and The Atlantic.

16. Do subscribe to the Times and get the Sunday hard copy. That book review section suits me.

Don't now if they have another pub on books that is bigger than that Sunday section.

Also digitally subscribe to the Post.

17. Not the NY Times Book Review

The New York Review of Books, a separate publication, not related to the Times or any other newspaper. http://www.nybooks.com/ Do take a look--I think you'll really like it.

18. Thanks for the tip. I did have them confused. EOM

4. And VF has limited the # of articles you can read online w/o a subscription.

8. Also you can just put items in your jacket and walk out of stores without paying for them

7. Vanity Fair covers "Entertainment, TV, politics, celebrity, fashion, and beauty news"

The royal wedding pretty much hits every category.

10. Anyone who's been a reader over the past few years

has known the magazine to be much more than its tagline. I don't know if you've seen the latest issue, which is virtually 100% royal wedding and a total snooze. I predict it's going to lose a lot of readers if it continues to be a glorified People.

12. Vanity Fair??

[cyclonefence]

15. Yeah, Vanity Fair

Sorry, America: Mitt Romney Is Not Here to Save Your Party
“He’s Looking for Quid Pro Quos”: Is Andrii Artemenko the Key to the Trump-Russia Case?
White House Thought Burying a Report About Poison Drinking Water Was a Great Idea
Is China Straight-Up Bribing Donald Trump?
“Pence Is Not Stupid”: As Trump Sinks, G.O.P. Insiders See a Shadow Campaign Taking Shape

At this point it dawns on me that I'm being trolled. You either have never read the magazine and are being aggressive from ignorance, or you're enjoying making me mad. If you truly have an interest in this topic, read some of the articles I've already named and get back to me. I have no idea otherwise why you're taking this so personally.

9. It's a Royal Wedding hulapalooza this week

Even PBS has showing an hour of Royal Wedding stuff from 10-11 each night this week.

I'm sure VF will be back to it's regular self next issue.

11. I couldn't care less about royal anything.

Didn't we fight a little skirmish about that back in the 1700's?

[Blue_Adept]

13. Yes, but this is a big country of 330 million people and some people DO have an interest

It doesn't mean they want to live under a monarchy but they're interested in it for a whole range of reasons.

SO LET'S SHAME THEM!
